It has been raining for 4 days straight. Today, the sun came out. The temperature dropped. From 11 to 5 C. Freaking cold. You can see it on the pictures. The cold blue nuances on them. Brrr…

The snow has arrived on the mountain ridges around the house. The Kaki tree has lost it's leaves and the remaining kakis are hanging like orange christmas decorations on the naked tree.

But the olives are doing fine. Their usual picking time is november/december when everything else has given in to the cold. First they are yellow. Then green. Then they become this slightly red color and look like grapes. And then black in the end.
Did you know that all olives are black, and that the green olives you get are just black ones picked before they go black? I didn't know that before I came here :-)
